A/N: I have several random thoughts on Harry Potter Fan-fiction this is my soapbox to rant, praise or say WTF!!!

Gringotts and Galleons
"Hello Goblin, I'm out for an overly used yet seldom creative shopping excursion and I was wondering if there was a way to carry thousands of galleons around with me?"
"Well Mr. Potter we have the standard bottomless-moneybag that will withdraw directly from your vault, also there is the father-light moneybag that can carry all the funds you need, the easiest way however is the one hundred galleon palladium coins."
"Yes the coins do sound most practical and I've only seen them used in a few other Fic's so I will take thirty of those and the muggle credit card because it seems the most logical as well."
ooOOooOOooOOoo
Why do you not see this in the Wizarding monetary system why could you not have a ten Galleon coin or a hundred Galleon coin some would stipulate that the gold coin would be ten or a hundred times larger than the standard single galleon coin but there are other precious metals that could be used Platinum and Palladium for example you say they wouldn't fit accurately into the coinage but then again an ounce of silver is worth about twenty US dollars and an ounce of gold is worth about one thousand US dollars so you would have to have around fifty sickles to equal the value of one galleon if the two coins were around the same size.
So here is my thoughts and opinions on different coins You could have a Ten Galleon Platinum Coin and a One hundred Galleon Palladium Coin this would lighten a moneybag by having ten one hundred galleon palladium coins instead of one thousand one galleon coins it would also cut down on vault size could you imagine having one million one galleon coins in a vault even if it was stacked in interlocking metal trays at ten high by ten wide by ten long to equal ten thousand galleons per tray you would still have one hundred trays but if you had one million galleons in one hundred galleon palladium coins stacked in trays you would only have ten trays that would be roughly the size of the box your printer came in.

Students Love Teachers
"Hey Hermione, where are you headed?"
"Harry, you know I have been having special classes with professor Snape in the evening."
"Hermione, I did remember but you take the classes dressed like you are and people will start getting the wrong idea."
"Whatever do you mean, Harry"
"Hermione, your dressed like a tart, low cut, skin tight shirt, short, leather miniskirt, stockings and heels, and enough makeup to paint a portrait."
"Harry professor Snape is the only person who understands me with that greasy hair and those black eyes. Besides I read a Fan fiction a few weeks ago that had you down there and from what I read he's been giving you a bit of his own special potion ingredient."
ooOOooOOooOOoo
ANY paring between an adult and an underage child is wrong in my opinion. Any paring between a teacher and a student is wrong no matter what the age!
I have read Fan-fiction that paired an emancipated Harry with N. Tonks even this in my opinion is borderline. However compared to some it is acceptable.

Imperial Vs. Metric
"Hermione, do wizards use the old imperial system of measurement or the new system or metrics?"
"Harry, the metric system was internationally adopted in 1960 and wizarding homes still use candlelight to read by why would you think that wizards would use something as simple as the metric system for measurement."
"Then what are all those Fan-fiction authors to do, do they use the Imperial system or the Metric system?"
"they should use which ever they are most comfortable with. However there really should be a conversion chart."
